Savory Clams

About

Native to Asia, savory clams came to North America in the 1980s by cargo ships. The inside of the shell is a purple color, and has a longer shelf life than the popular Manila clam. This makes it a common substitute for the Manila clam during summer months (Manilas are more weak in summer).

Savory clams are mild in flavor and are best steamed or in a stir fry.
